Not going! This would be my years to trade my C7. No interest in C8 and that lack of interest has had an effect on the whole Corvette desirability!

Forgot, the car is a 2017 Stingray. Additionally the tensioner is designed to absorb four cylinder pulses (evidently the uneven power pulses in four cylinder operation need dampening), the oil keeps...

What grade/make fuel are you using? The misfire you feel could be detonation? A misfire will through a code and turn on the dreaded engine light.

I have never used it. I think it is hard on the vehicle, certainly doesn’t help it. Another thing; there are no new replacement Corvettes being manufactured. The C8, not my style.

I lost all the passion, now just a car! Lost interest in the Museum and other Corvette activities. Manufacturer abandoned Corvette loyalists in favor of copying foreign products.

Lost the passion?

Since the C8 was introduced, I get the feeling of abandonment. I knew the car was being redesigned, saw the prototypes being tested; wasn’t impressed. I purchased a new C7 prior to production ending,...

Nicely done video. However will not cause me to purchase a C8. Staying with my C7 convertible with M7 transmission. I was hoping for more from the C8, disappointed!
